The Spirit and the NationsIsaiah 42:1In the troubled, crime-ridden city of Metropolis, citizens felt defeated and had little expectation of their plight improving. Lex Luthor had his rich & powerful hand in everything, including the police. Who could ever deliver them from their peril? They knew they were a lost cause. That is, until a certain extraterrestrial, caped being flew into town. Emblazoned on his chest was a striking symbol that brought exactly what they were waiting for. “The symbol of the House of El means hope.” Superman brought hope because of his double-edged justice: he punished the wrongdoers while saving the victims.When God delivered hope to His people, it was found in His perfect justice. How does He do it? Who can receive it? Tomorrow is Pentecost Sunday. We will hear about the Hope for all nations and how He can deliver us from our peril.
